Will you be faithful to me

Is your heart good and true

While you sow sorrow and pain

Darling I'm waiting for you

Because of your cruel ways

I may never live to know

In justice to my true love

I'll give you before I go

Will you be faithful to me

Is your heart good and true

While you sow sorrow and pain

Darling I'm waiting for you

Because of your cruel ways

I may never live to know

In justice to my true love

I'll give you before I go

If we cannot meet again

Till our troubles all are through

Beyond the river of Jordan

I'll still be waiting for you

Because of your cruel ways

I may never live to know

In justice to my true love

I'll give you before I go

When you seek my grassy mount

Then our trouble all is through

My days have been shortened

Whilst I've been waiting for you

Because of your cruel ways

I may never live to know

In justice to my true love

I'll give you before I go
